Subject: What belongs
This short illustrates how differently personas of politicians were presented to the public. No glitz or spin, just a straightforward position on the subject matter--which is still important today. Namely, what rightly is a subject for constitutional pronouncements. The intake of alcohol by individuals is clearly not one. Current events still relate to this issue of how far should constitutional reach go in private, as opposed to national, matters.

New YorkÃÂs governor Al Smith pontificates briefly on the end of Prohibition. This clip should be placed in a documentary about the 30s right before scenes of drunken partying to Spike JonesÃÂ ÃÂCocktails for Two.ÃÂ By itself, itÃÂs pretty dull.
